Source heading; not independently verified

At Kortrijck, in Flanders, there were two godfearing
and simple brethren, one named Jelis de
Groot, the other Mahieu van Halewijn, who would
much rather suffer affliction with the people of God,
than enjoy every vain pleasure with the wicked
world; which affliction they also could not escape;
for in the year 1559 they were apprehended, and
immediately examined concerning their faith, which
they freely confessed, and adhered to unto the end,
notwithstanding the threats made against, and the
torments inflicted upon, them on this account, so
that they were finally sentenced to death for their
steadfastness, and, as valiant heroes of God, publicly,
in the sight of many, passed through temporal
death, to await, with their fellow-brethren, gone
before, under the altar, the day of their avenging.
Rev. 6:9.
